Clinico-surgical studies on electrostimulation analgesia of abdomino-pelvic region in sheep.

摘要

Sixteen clinically healthy sheep were decided into 4 groups which were subjected to electrostimulation of acupoints ST-34, SP-9, BL-23 and GV-20 (Group I); ST-34, SP-9, BL-23, GV-20 + xylazine (Group II); GB-34, ST-36, SP-6 and GV-20 (Group III) and GB-34, ST-36, SP-6, GV-20 + xylazine (Group IV) prior to surgery (laparotomy, episiotomy and rumenectomy). It was shown that time (17.28+or-0.67-21.00+or-0.84 min) and duration (22.42+or-1.20-65.26+or-1.80 min) or analgesia did not differ significantly between groups. Recovery occurred at 21.00+or-0.72-28.20+or-0.80 min in all groups. The duration of analgesia was comparatively longer in Group IV compared to the other groups. Surgery was performed without problems; however, surgery was not as smooth in Group I. No postoperative complications were observed. The best analgesic effect is achieved by electrical stimulation of acupoints GB-34, ST-36, SP-6 and GV-20 with xylazine.
